Agreed Now - but in 200 years when we have FTL drives :-) I think they
would be 
part of the usual combat regalia. Just look at the Future Wars 25mm
figures they 
have all sorts of helmet cam's and sensors depicted on the model. If
you've seen 
the Predator Movie thats the sort of sensors where going to have and a
cammo net 
ain't gonna make it. 

This is one area where SF movie makers have generally screwed up. The
colonial 
marines in Aliens should certainly have had thermal imaging (Hey Vasquez
whats 
them hot spots in the roof - Let's Rock Brrrrrr - end movie) and the
Storm 
Troopers in Star Wars. I think The T1000 had it in T1. 

If you can build a faster than light drive then you can mass produce
micro 
thermal imaging systems surely?

I never use the Smoke rules in Ds2 for this reason.
